Creativity has traditionally been considered an individual level phenomenon. This doctoral research aims to unpack the social and cultural dynamics of creativity and takes the example of folk art as a community level manifestation of creativity. An exploration of Easter egg decoration in urban and rural Romania reveals the mechanisms of a craft-world found at the intersection between folklore, religion and art.

Memorial Tribute Father Godfried Leo Diekmann, O.S.B.
died: February 25, 2002
One of Saint John's most illustrious and revered members had a humble beginning in the village of Roscoe, twenty-five miles southwest of Collegeville. Leo Diekmann was the sixth of eight children (five boys and three girls) of schoolteacher John Conrad Diekmann and his lovely wife Rosalie Loxtercamp. Given the family nickname "Pechvogel," the bad-luck bird, for his dare devilish demeanor, young Leo grew up amid the books he loved to read, the sports and the flute he loved to play, and the Church he first came to fear more than love.
In those frigid, rigid years of intimidating pastors and blood and thunder sermons, Leo's buoyant spirit was overshadowed by scrupulosity resulting from what he worried was his "bad" first confession. Dread of the wrath of God hounded him through his years at Saint John's Preparatory School and University and into the novitiate until the saintly Athanasius Meyer, the abbey's novice master for thirty-two years, introduced his neophytes to the concept of the Mystical Body of Christ. Serenity returned to the soul of the novice who had appropriately received the name Godfrey, meaning "the peace of God."
Two years after his first profession Godfrey was sent to Rome to prepare for the priesthood and a doctorate in theology at the International Benedictine College of Sant' Anselmo. He delighted in the cuisine, the music and the ancient sites of Rome and responded successfully to the rigor of his course work. He was privileged to make his profession of solemn vows on July 11, 1929 before the Abbot-bishop of Monte Cassino. Also present were the Cardinal of Naples, seventeen bishops, four abbots, two hundred priests, the monastic community and a church full of visitors, all who had gathered to celebrate the 1400th anniversary of the founding of that abbey by St. Benedict.
Godfrey broadened and deepened his education through the lectures and writings of such theological giants as Anselm Stolz, Karl Adam, Ildefons Herwegen, Odo Casel and Matthias Scheeben, as well as early Christian writers like Augustine and Tertullian. He was attracted to the "theology of the heart," a loving approach to God with open mind and heart that was to characterize his own teaching. A year of study at the Liturgical Institute of the Abbey of Maria Laach in Germany allowed Godfrey to participate in that community's pastoral liturgical movement, and thus a mustard seed was planted that would soon produce an abundant harvest. On June 28, 1931, Godfrey was ordained to the priesthood by the cardinal vicar of Rome. Writing to his mother after the four-hour ceremony, Godfrey expressed his joy: "To think of it! I am now an alter Christus, 'an other Christ.' I have been incorporated in His mystic Body in a most special way ...." He defended his doctoral thesis, "On the Image of God in the Human Person according to the Writings of Tertullian," in the summer of 1933 and returned to Saint John's.
Godfrey's teaching career began modestly enough with classes in religion and German literature at the Prep School. The following year he taught a college theology class and his initial course in patrology at Saint John's Seminary. He understood his teaching task as an obligation to share not only his knowledge but also his love of Christ, his enthusiasm for God. The latter was contagious and his teaching was described as "infectious theology" and "an explosive intellectual adventure." His students sometimes wondered whether he might not drop dead in the classroom, so exuberant and exhausting were his presentations!
The liturgical retreat was soon added to Godfrey's ministry. Priests and religious privileged to make a retreat under his direction considered it "the retreat of our lives." Godfrey preached with a passion, ex abundantia cordis. A confrere recalled the time Godfrey and he were to lecture at the same conference. The confrere spent weeks preparing and fine-tuning his remarks. On the plane Godfrey scribbled notes on a few three-by-five cards. The confrere's presentation was met with polite applause; Godfrey's with a standing ovation!
But it was his association with Virgil Michel, a pioneer of the liturgical movement in the United States, which set the agenda for much of Godfrey's future work. Working as Michel's assistant in the publication of Orate Fratres, Godfrey came to know well this energetic leader who was involved in so many facets of a Catholic restoration. When Michel died at the age of forty-seven in 1938, Godfrey became the editor of this premiere journal of liturgical and pastoral renewal. Godfrey brought new vitality to the journal through the introduction of popular American contributors and a host of international scholars such. Their articles stressed the essentials: praying and living with the Church, for the greater honor of God.
Kathleen Hughes, RSCJ, in her splendid biography, The Monk's Tale (The Liturgical Press, 1991), has thoroughly documented his leadership in the drafting and implementation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy as a peritus during the Second Vatican Council. He was the founder and member of the International Committee on English in the Liturgy, a member of the Concilium for Implementing the Liturgical Reforms of Vatican II and a consultor to the American Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy.
Godfrey's interest in the unity of Christian Churches prompted his membership in the National Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue. He was a founding fellow and professor at the Ecumenical Institute for Advanced Theological Studies at Tantur, Israel, and co-founder of the Ecumenical Institute of Spirituality. He gave witness to the intrinsic bond between worship and social justice by taking part in the 1965 civil rights march in Selma, Alabama, where he carried a banner that read, "Selma is in Minnesota, too."
Ten honorary degrees and a batch of prestigious awards such as the Cardinal Spellman Medal of the Catholic Theological Society of America and the Berakah Award of the North American Academy of Liturgy served to confirm the length and depth of his contributions. In 1997 the Saint John's School of Theology-Seminary honored him by establishing the Godfrey Diekmann, OSB Center for Patristics and Liturgical Studies.
With almost a dozen near-death experiences to his credit, Godfrey could never deny his terminal condition. He grew impatient over his persistent knocking at the Gate of God's Glory and its not opening. But he accepted the delay as a time for repenting, especially for not heeding sufficiently St. Leo's famous dictum: "Christian, remember your dignity," of sharing the divine nature, of truly being sons and daughters of God. He envisioned heaven as experiencing God with the ecstasy of honeymoon love. "Heaven," he said, "is eternal, supreme life--not just eternal rest." The door to that life opened for Godfrey on the Feast of the Chair of Peter when he went to sit with the first Vicar of Christ to discuss the state of the Church on earth. How pleased Peter was to meet one who, like himself, was like a rock.
Father Godfrey is survived by his monastic community and his youngest sister Marie. The Mass for Christian Burial was celebrated for Father Godfrey at Saint John's Abbey on Wednesday, February 27, 2002, with burial in the abbey cemetery.
We commend our brother Godfrey to your prayers.
Abbot John Klassen, OSB, and the monastic community. For further in formation on Godfrey, see the Abbey website: http://www.saintjohnsabbey.org/news/020222.html#release

The Broad Market Outlook for 2013
In this commentary we'll survey the intermediate-term to longer-term market terrain. This is especially important since we're about to enter a new year, which the Kress cycle outlook describes as potentially dangerous from a financial market and economic perspective.
Investors have had no shortage of worries in November, including uncertainty surrounding the presidential race earlier this month, the upcoming "fiscal cliff" on Dec. 31, troubles in the Middle East, and the ongoing euro zone debt crisis. On the European front, Spain has still not asked for the European Central Bank (ECB) to purchase its bonds, while the Euro area finance ministers will not likely to make a final decision to release the Euro 31.5 billion of aid to Greece until Nov. 26.
In a bull market investors tend to ignore worries and focus on the positive news, namely expanding corporate profits. Bull markets on average tend to run about 3-4 years before becoming exhausted. The bull market which began in March 2009 was accompanied by a major recovery in corporate profits, which was part of a feedback loop that propelled equity prices higher in the last 3+ years. Corporate profit momentum is in the process of revering now, which means investors have one less positive to consider when evaluating equities.
From an investor psychology perspective, what does it mean when fear and worry feeds on itself and creates downside momentum? It means we're entering a bear market, which was fated to happen at some point after the 4-year cycle peaked in October. On an interim basis it was confirmed when the NYSE Composite Index (NYA) decisively broke below its 60-day moving average.
Another indication that conditions have turned bearish on an intermediate-term basis is seen in the series of internal momentum indicators known as HILMO (Hi-Lo Momentum). As the name implies, HILMO is based on the rate of change in the daily 52-week highs and lows on the NYSE. Whenever all the main components of HILMO (short-, intermediate-, and longer-term) are in synch to the downside it shows that conditions have turned decisively bearish.
Of course this negative internal condition can, and most likely will, be reversed on a short-term basis. We're entering a favorable timeframe for equities seasonally (December-January) and a year-end rally isn't out of the question. The investor sentiment poll released last Thursday by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) showed the percentage of their members who are bullish were only 29 percent, while 49 percent were bearish. This net bearish reading is one of the highest in two years and suggests, from a contrarian standpoint, a short-term market bottom.
But what separates a normal, healthy market from the environment we're now entering on a longer term basis is that the rallies will likely not be sustainable beyond a few weeks. The main trend for 2013, in contrast to the past year, will likely be down. This is especially true with the final "hard down" phase of the 40-year and 60-year Kress cycles upon us in 2013 and 2014.
Gold ETF
Our preferred gold ETF, the iShares Gold Trust (IAU), hasn't yet confirmed a buy signal according to the rules of our trading discipline, but it has begun to show significant relative strength. Consider the following graph which shows the meaningful spike in the gold ETF's relative strength in just the last few days. In most cases, a spike in the relative strength line precedes an upside move in the IAU. Accordingly we should soon have a confirmed immediate-term buy signal for the gold ETF.

Fleet commanders-in-chief and numbered fleet commanders have geographically oriented responsibilities and are permanently organized and assigned to a unified (theater) command. Below the numbered fleet staff level, the operational chain of command is task oriented. The United States Navy's Fleets are operationally organized into task forces. Each task force is responsible to the Fleet Commander for specific functions related to the assigned units. Organizational assignments in the operational chain of command are not permanently constituted. The task organization is predicated on the mission by a war plan or an operational plan of a commander of a unified command, and as further delineated by the fleet commander-in-chief (naval component commander) and the numbered fleet commander. The task organization must be explicitly set forth by the operation order or operation plan. Changes in the task organization may occur with changes in forces assigned to the task group, geographic area of operation, military task, or tactical situation. Task organization commanders and staffs are created as required by appropriate operation plans and orders. Personnel are assigned on an additional duty basis from (1) existing administrative staff organization, (2) commands within the task organization, and (3) where special skills or large numbers of personnel are required, by augmentees on additional duty from outside the task organization. The operational commander and his staff may be embarked in a sea-going unit of the task organization which would provide the requisite command, control, and communication facilities. When adequate or suitable facilities are not available afloat, the operational staff may be located ashore if the peculiar command, control, and communication requirements for the level of command can thereby be better provided. Operational commanders may alsobe located ashore to facilitate command of land-based forces. Task forces will normally be constituted for the purpose of conducting broad naval warfare missions, such as establishing naval superiority, conducting general strike operations, or seizing territory ashore, or any combination of the functions of the sea cone titles of task forces reflect the broad nature of their tasking (for example, maritime surveillance and reconnaissance force, amphibious force, mobile logistics support force, and so forth).In times of crises and during certain exercises, Second Fleet becomes the Commander, Joint Task Force (120), one of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Command's joint commanders in the Atlantic theater. This joint task force consists of elements of the Atlantic Fleet, U.S. Army quick reaction Airborne and air assault units, U.S. Air Force aircraft and support personnel, U.S. Marine Corps amphibious forces, and at times, designated units of the U.S. Coast Guard. When activated, Joint task Force 120 is tasked to execute a variety of contingency missions throughout the Atlantic Command's area of responsibility. Second Fleet could also be ordered under certain contingencies in the Caribbean theater of operations to control similarly constructed forces as Joint Task Force 140.
When the fleet commander-in-chief finds it necessary to establish a task force whose principal function is performed by skills all of the same type, then the assigned task force commander normally will be of the appropriate warfare specialty designation (for example, submarine task force by a submarine officer, surface force by a surface warfare officer, maritime patrol surveillance and ASK force by an aviators and so forth). This assignment is made in the task organization of the applicable operation order or operation plan.The numbering system for Task Forces subordinated to numbered Fleets is derivative of the number of the Fleet [eg designations of 5th Fleet Task Forces take the form of CTF-5x]. Designations for Task Forces subordinated to the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets generally follow this pattern, though the naive observer might conclude that these designations referred to units of the non-existent 1st Fleet [used for Pacific Fleet] and the equally non-existent 4th and 8th Fleets [used for the Atlantic Fleet]. There is evidently no exact consistency in the names that are attached to specific types of Task Forces, evident inconsistency in the numerical sequence in which a specific type of Task Force is numbered in different Fleets [the exception being the aircraft carrier Battle Force, which is consistently numbered CTF-x0], and only modest consistency with which the various types of Task Forces are represented among the various Fleets, numbered and otherwise.
For major combat formations, the Task Force in the operational chain of command is equivalent to the Group in the administrative chain of command. Hence, the operational CTF-x0 Battle Force centered around an aircraft carrier is equivalent to the administrative Carrier Group (CARGRU). although the Carrier Group consists of a single aircraft carrier and associated forces, while the CTF-x0 Battle Force may consist of one or more aircraft carriers and associated forces.
The Battle Force is composed of one or more aircraft carriers, each with an accompanying complement of approximately six cruisers and destroyers. On board the aircraft carrier is an airwing of 65-85 aircraft. The airwing is the primary striking arm of the Battle Force and includes attack, fighter, anti-submarine, command and control, and reconnaissance aircraft. Ships accompanying the carrier serve as defensive and offensive platforms with duties involving anti-air, surface and submarine warfare. In addition to its major role of controlling the seas, the Battle Force can also project its power over land. The Amphibious Force is the Mediterranean Amphibious Ready Group (MARG). It is composed of three or more amphibious ships and their embarked landing craft and helicopters, occasionally along with attack transports, cargo ships, and mine sweepers. From these ships, US Marine ground forces can move ashore by sea and air on amphibious assault or emergency evacuation missions. Once ashore, the ships of Task Force 61 logistically support the ground forces, until the objective of the landing has been accomplished and the Marine forces return to the ships. The Landing Force is the combat-ready Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). The ground force is composed of approximately 1,800 Marines. The Amphibious Force and the Landing Force combine teamwork of Navy and Marine Corps units to form the Amphibious Task Force. Transported in Amphibious Force ships, the MEU is equipped with armor, artillery and transport helicopters that enable it to conduct operations ashore or evacuate civilians from troubled areas. The Logistics/Service Force is composed of oilers, provision ships and repair ships, its mission is the delivery of supplies at sea, and effecting repairs to others ships and equipment of the fleet. These mobile logistic support ships which permit the Fleet to enjoy mobility and self-sustenance. The Patrol Reconnaissance Force Sea Control and Surveillance Force is composed of land-based maritime patrol aircraft. These P-3 Orion patrol aircraft operate over the waters of the Mediterranean in anti-submarine reconnaissance, surveillance, and mining roles, providing the Fleet with essential information on the Mediterranean area. The Submarine Force is composed of attack submarines that provide the capability to destroy enemy surface ships and submarines as well as protect other Sixth Fleet ships from attack. It is responsible for planning and coordinating area submarine and anti-submarine warfare operations in the Mediterranean. The SSBN Force consists of ballistic missile submarines assigned to the Fleet.

Statement From Phoenix Racing
Regarding Kurt Busch and the No. 51 Chevrolet
SPARTANBURG, S.C., (June 12, 2012) – Below is a statement from James Finch, owner of Phoenix Racing, regarding Kurt Busch and the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet.
"We have met with Kurt. At the end of the day, we are racers so we're going racing together with Kurt and the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet.

They are high school spoofs on beauty pageants that are meant to be fun, and raise money for a good cause: helping children battling cancer, and their families.
The Mr. Middletown pageant at Middletown Area High School and the Mr. Mini-THON pageant at Lower Dauphin High School pitted male students in talent and swimsuit competitions that were actually meaningless – the contestant who raised the most money was crowned the winner.
Combined, the two pageants raised more than $12,000 for the Four Diamonds Fund, and will be part of the total that each school's Mini-THON Committee raises in their annual 12-hour dance and games extravaganza.
Lower Dauphin's Mini-THON, held last month at the school, raised a school record $82,630.95 Middletown's Mini-THON is scheduled to begin on Friday, April 24 – and don't be surprised if another school record falls. The Mr. Middletown pageant, held in late March, already has raised $5,742 toward the school's total.
Lower Dauphin's winner, Tommy Bowen, raised an amazing $2,765.95 to win the crown, though his talent – he performed the Vote for Pedro dance from the cult film, "Napoleon Dynamite,'' was an impressive homage.
At Middletown, Nathan Ocker won the crown, raising $1,486.12 and performing a rap song for good measure. The talent competition could be called "fierce'' – one contestant sang a Katy Perry song, another jumped on a Pogo stick, a third played the cowbell, a fourth jumped rope and a fifth staged a cooking demonstration. You can catch photos of some of them on A1 of this edition.
The real winners were the kids and families helped by Four Diamonds and the generosity of local students and those who donated to them.
Congratulations to Ocker and his court – Nick Myers (first runner-up), Jordan Handley (third place), Brett Altland, Will Botterbusch, Zac Gates, Scott Shaffer and Zack Sims for their efforts, and to the Mini-THON Committee at both Middletown and Lower Dauphin, for its good works and compassion – and for proving our faith in the younger generation is not misplaced.

Happy April Fool's Day!
You may already have realized that our A1 story on Central Idaho University's plan to build a branch campus in Middletown is an April Fool's Day joke. The day for pranks fell on a Wednesday this year – the day we publish our latest issue – so we couldn't resist. Hey, even the conservative Wall Street Journal has published a humorous April Fool's Day story in the past.
There is no Central Idaho University.
But you knew that, right?
We hope it gave you a belly laugh, or at least made you roll your eyes.
Laughter is the best medicine, and heaven knows we all can use another dose of laughter now and then in these times. The world seems to be a darker, more dangerous, horribly contentious place nowadays. We hope you have kept your sense of humor. We have.
Middletown is a borough in transition. We've endured a major water and sewer line construction project in the downtown, and are in the midst of another along Main Street. No one loves road construction and detours, but the work promises to bring development to town.
The borough is scheduled to begin a $2.7 million downtown renovation project this spring, and the plans already have lured investors to town. One of them talked to staff writer Dan Miller, and his comments can be found in a story about the streetscape project on A1 of this issue.
Other investors have recently purchased the Lamp Post Inn on Main Street, and plan to open a restaurant there.
What really buoyed our spirits about Middletown was the Mayoral Madness basketball challenge between basketball players at Middletown Area High School and alumni, a game organized by Mayor James H. Curry III to help raise money for a fireworks show in town on Labor Day weekend. The game on Friday, March 27 at the school gym drew a large crowd of people willing to donate their money to the cause.
There is much good in Middletown. Let's not forget that as we move forward and face a future that, we believe, is promising – with or without Central Idaho University.

Okay so I lied, there's no disco. Sue me.
This is a revamp of an old song I've posted on here before. It has a new power metaly section and has generally been spiced up. This is our longest song so far, I hope it doesn't drag. There will definitely be a second guitar in it at some point, it's just our new guitarist hasn't got round to learning this one yet. I know the song isn't hugely technical for it's style, but we are only 15-17 The end is quite sudden as we would probably eventually go into another song with it, probably soft and acousticy. I will match whatever crit you give me asap, just post a link in your reply Thanks guys

at first i thought you were confused as to what "progressive" meant, but it definately picks up a lot of steam as it goes. Bass solo-part is pretty sick, as are most of the lead guitar parts. intro is a bit tedious, and I'm extremely curious as to what kind of vocals you're fitting over this. the 2nd guitar part will definitely help in a lot of this song (intro and chorus for sure). ensure you keep the rhythm guitar interesting but doesn't steal attention from the lead and this could be pretty sick

Pretty damn good overall.
I absolutely love the bridge, I thought it was absolutely fantastic, it sat well, didn't feel forced, flowed excellently and was entirely flawless. However, I felt the intro was perhaps a little too drawn out before anything changed, and the insistence on awkward time signatures for the beginning parts felt a little forced. Perhaps a bit of normality with the occasional quirks of odd meters will actually help it seem more proggy, as opposed to being technical for technicalities sake? Hope that dint seem too harsh as I really liked it, just try and write with the feeling you applied to the bridge section, it just sat so well in comparison. While GP5 didnt do it justice, I also liked your slow solo section, had a nice feel, regardless of the quality of MIDI sounds. The breakdown was quite good too, although perhaps some choices of dissonant notes were a little odd, but i could feel the groove nonetheless. If mixed with diatonic consonance, then the dissonant clashes would have more effect in my opinion. And lastly the outro section, while a nice contrast to prior section, didnt sum up the piece in my opinion. To me it sounds like the last section of the breakdown, and is yet to be concluded. Maybe a reprise of a prior theme with a twist might help it sound more like an outro? Anyway, I hope my criticism was constructive and didn't come across as too mean, as I really thought it was great, just needs a bit of perfecting

Cheers for the quick crit guys It's much appreciated.
Vocals will probably mostly harsh/screamed vocals, just because that's what our singer does best , but there will definitely be as much singing as possible in this one. I know what you guys mean about the intro, hopefully it will shape up with more guitar, if not, i'll trim it a bit. The "bass solo" section will have some guitar over it, but mostly improvised, slow stuff. I know what you mean about the outro, a reprise is a good idea, but we were thinking of not giving it a solid ending so we could go straight into another one of our songs, we just haven't worked that out yet . A bit like on Colors by BTBAM thanks again

I got an old BTBAM vibe from this at points. Uh the intro is really good, I loved the drums there. And you have great ideas, you just need to work on your songwriting. I know that you are writing the sort of song that doesnt seem to have structure, but you still need to make the riffs transition into each other. The transition at 189 was great and led into a sweet riff. But, the transition from 160 to 161 was awkward, as was that second riff in general (or the first two bars). And sadly, most of your transitions are in the second category. With better songwriting, the song could be a lot better. Also, with better drums it could be better too. Good ideas though, and good concepts (the slowdown at 181).
Oh and the outro was weak. If you want to transition it then okay. But does that mean that at 243 there will be a new song? If so, then the bass isnt needed, but if there is a pause before the next song, then have the guitars play that final chord too, or else it sounds empty.

Yeah that cool. The song writing is the main thing I'm working on at the moment. I know the drums are a bit weak but I'm not a drummer and I'm hoping my drummer will spice em up where needed.
Thanks again for the Crit guys, does anyone have anything for me to C4C? Mr Mustard if it's alright by you I'm going to crit your Catchy hard pop as that sounds pretty interesting already

My acne has gotten worst and worst. 26 now and my acne is getting worst.
I read about eating fish is good for acne but what about the canned foods like caned sardines, salmon and tuna?
At first i thought these are bad b/c its in a can and thus processed but someone mentioned in an article these are good for you. The article had nothing to do with acne though.
Does anyone know if eating these will help/hurt your acne?

Coconut Grove man has arm hair fit for Guinness World Records
On Justin Shaw's forearms, there are silky light-blond masses of hair. The wavy tufts might look at home on the chin of an albino or the skull of Barbie. The longest of these hairs could stretch the diameter of a large grapefruit. For this, Justin hopes to be immortalized forever — or at least until a guy with longer arm hair comes around.
The 28-year-old Kentucky-born professional drummer, who can usually be found playing Journey covers at Coconut Grove's Crazy Pianos, realized in high school he had freakishly long arm hair. He developed a great fondness for his tufts, even once cutting ties with a friend who drunkenly tried to set the hairs on fire. He'll never cut them: "I'm scared it will be like Samson from the Bible," he explains.
Justin says that since he moved to Miami five months ago from Louisville, his beloved hairs have been "growing like crazy," which he attributes to never wearing sleeves and "getting a lot of vitamin D." Recently, he decided to find out who had the longest documented arm hair in the world. The answer: 17-year-old Wisconsin high schooler Robert Starrett, who has a single hair, measuring 5.3 inches, extending from a mole on his left arm. By Riptide's careful measurement, the longest of Justin's hairs is 5.75 inches — a world champion by almost a half-inch. Our hero boasts: "I have several record-breakers on this arm alone!"
But getting Guinness to recognize that claim is no simple task. He must have his record documented by local media (don't mention it, dude), provide verifying photos and video, and have "two independent upstanding members of the community" sign notarized statements. He plans to head to the firehouse next door to his Grove home, hoping a couple of firefighters will be upstanding enough.
Riptide attempted to get the reaction of the teenaged Roger Maris to Justin's Barry Bonds. But Robert Starrett ignored our Facebook friend request.

As a television scriptwriter, Tammy created hundreds of descriptive "art stories" for WGBH Public Television's annual live fine arts auction. At WGBH she oversaw production of special arts segments, working with artists, collectors, dealers and other arts specialists. Tammy also produced segments for "Antiques Roadshow," Public Television's most popular program. WGBH prepared Tammy well for her journalist role at the weekly paper, Planet Jackson Hole. Her column, "Arts Observatory," pioneered a new level of arts writing in Jackson, quickly becoming Teton County's most-read arts column.

Tammy began appreciating visual arts at an early age. She is the great granddaughter of Harris Whittemore, one of America's first and most important collectors of French Impressionism and James Abbot McNeill Whistler. The family guarded the collection for over a century; only recently has a book on this pioneer collection been published – "Hidden in Plain Sight: The Whittemore Collection and the French Impressionists" by Ann Y. Smith. As Smith has written, by the time they were done, the Whittemores had obtained more than one thousand works of art.
Tammy loves writing about the arts in Jackson. Her goal is to help make the visual arts more accessible to everyone; the arts are for everyone!

Measuring - Outside Mount |
Before taking any measurements, step back from your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess, or outside on the wall or molding. We usually recommend an inside mount when possible because it provides a cleaner look. However, an outside mount can make a window appear larger or hide an unattractive window. For an inside mount, the window opening must have enough unobstructed depth to allow mounting. When measuring for an outside mount, be sure to allow for the height of the product's headrail in your measurements. We will custom make your blinds to the sizes you write on the order. If these sizes are incorrect it is impossible to change the blind, so take your time and double check your measurements. |

Bournemouth Tourist Information and Tourism
(Bournemouth, Dorset, England, UK)
With over 11 km / 7 miles of golden, sandy beaches, Bournemouth has the reputation of being a popular destination with families. The town's beaches have been an unfailing draw for tourists during the summer months, being a safe environment for supervised children to play, however, it is not unusual to see large numbers of visitors milling around the seafront promende during the off-season. It is not even unheard of to see surfers off the artificial reef near Boscombe on Boxing Day.
Popular beaches in the Bournemouth area include Alum Chine, Durley Chine, High Cliffe and Southbourne, which are all easy to reach from the town centre. Tourism advice is available from Bournemouth's Tourist Information Centre (TIC) on Westover Road, conveniently located close to the Pleasure Gardens, the historic Victorian shopping arcade, the two Odeon cinemas and the Pavilion Theatre.

These beautiful Pleasure Gardens have won many national awards and attractions here include flower borders with colourful bedding plants, picnic areas and the famous 'Bournemouth Eye', an enormous helium-filled balloon with an enclosed basket, carrying passengers to around 150 metres / 500 feet, the highest public observation point in town.
There are an enormous range of tourist attractions in this Dorset seaside resort, and these include the historic Bournemouth Pier - featuring many of the latest state-of-the-art video games and seaside slot-machine amusements; the Bournemouth International Centre (B.I.C.) - the town's most prestigious venue for entertainment, conferences, exhibitions, leisure activities, festivals and concerts; the Pavilion Theatre - a traditional theatre with a large a Victorian-style interior, the Pier Theatre - situated at the end of the long pier, with regular seaside comedies and farces; the Dorset Belles - a popular boat cruising company that provides a variety of trips for tourists in and around the area; Compton Acres - featuring seven spectacular gardens, including a stunning Japanese garden; and nearby Brownsea Island - a popular National Trust nature reserve, home to increasingly rare native red squirrels.

This is the second time I have had to call a repair person to GE the old screws off. It isn't the fault of the part. Better original screws would have helped. It was very frustrating an expensive. I would say check the screws before you order the part.

LET S ASK BARGMANN! With that phrase aciciressec! to
me by my Princeton thesis Divisor I was lee! to my
first real encounter with Valentine Bargmann. Our ques-
tion pertainec! to a mathematical fine point clearing with
quantum mechanical HamiTtonians expressed as clifferen-
tial operators, en c! we got a prompt, clear, en c! clefinitive
answer. Valya the common nickname for Valentine
Bargmann was aireacly an establishec! en c! justly renownec!
mathematical physicist in the best sense of the term, en c!
his acivice was wiclely sought by beginners en c! experts alike.
It was, of course, a thorough preparation that brought Valya
to his well-cleservec! reputation.
Valya Bargmann was born on April 6, 190S, in Berlin,
en c! stucliec! at the University of Berlin from 1925 to 1933.
As National Socialism began to grow in Germany, he mover!
to SwitzerIancI, where he receiver! his Ph.D. in physics at
the University of Zurich uncler the guidance of Gregor
Wentzel. Soon thereafter he emigratec! to the Uniter! States.
It is noteworthy that his passport, which wouIc! have been
revoke! in Germany at that time, hac! but two clays left to
its valiclity when he was acceptec! for immigration into the
Uniter! States. He soon joiner! the Institute for Advance c!
OCR for page 36
Stucly in Princeton, en c! in time was acceptec! as an assistant
to Albert Einstein.
Along with Peter Bergmann, Bargmann analyzed five-di-
mensional theories combining gravity en c! electromagne-
tism at a classical level. During WorIc! War II, Bargmann
worker! on shock wave studies with John von Neumann en c!
on the inversion of matrices of large dimension with von
Neumann en c! Deane Montgomery. Bargmann taught infor-
mally at Princeton beginning in 1941. He receiver! a regu-
lar appointment as a lecturer in physics in 1946 and re-
mained at Princeton essentially for the rest of his career.
Bargmann worker! with Eugene Wigner on relativistic wave
equations en c! together they clevelopec! the justly famous
Bargmann-Wigner equations for elementary particles of ar-
bitrary spin. In 1978 Bargmann en c! Wigner jointly receiver!
the first Wigner Mecial, an aware! of the Group Theory en c!
Funciamental Physics Foundation. Besicles this honor,
Bargmann was electec! to the National Academy of Sciences
in 1979 and won the Max Planck Medal of the German
Physical Society in ~ 988.
Valya was a gentle en c! moclest person en c! he was a
taTentec! pianist. At social occasions it was not uncommon
for Valya to perform solo or accompany other musicians.
His lectures were renownec! for their clarity en c! polish.
Among the prizes! series of lectures were those on his ac-
knowledged specialties, such as group theory (e.g., the
Lorentz group en c! its representations, en c! ray representa-
tions of Lie groups), as well as seconc! quantization. In math-
ematics, his most influential work was on the irreclucible
representations of the Lorentz group. This work has server!
as a paradigm for representation theory ever since its ap-
pearance. Bargmann also macle important contributions to
several aspects of quantum theory. He was a stellar example
of the European tradition in mathematical physics in the
OCR for page 36
spirit of Hermann WeyT, von Neumann, en c! Wigner. A book
in Bargmann's honor offers expert comments on a number
of topics clear to the heart of Valya.i
Bargmann hac! his less serious sicle as well. No better
example of that can be given than the story toIc! by Gerarc!
G. Emch, who arriver! at Princeton in ~ 964 to begin a
postcloctoral year with Valya. Emch also arriver! with a newly
minter! "theorem," which he proucIly presented to the mas-
ter. No sooner hac! the theorem been lair! out than Bargmann
was really with a counterexample. Sorely clisappointecI, Emch
retreated for home that clay en c! continues! to stucly the
matter. At 3 a.m. Emch's phone range. The caller, Bargmann,
heartily laughed when Emch quickly picked up the phone.
He then saicI, "I thought you wouIc! still be up. Go to bee!
en c! get some sleep. I have fount! an error in my counter-
example. We can discuss it tomorrow!"
Valya Bargmann publisher! a moclest number of papers
by contemporary stanciarcis, but he nevertheless was instru-
mental in opening several distinct fielcis of investigation.
His paper on establishing a limit on the number of bounc!
states to which an attractive quantum mechanical potential
may leac! has spawner! a minor industry in the research on
such issues. His paper clearing with distinct potentials that
exhibit iclentical scattering phase shifts reclirectec! research
in inverse scattering theory in which it hac! been previously
assumed that the scattering phase shifts would uniquely char-
acterize the potential. His stucly of the unitary irreclucible
representations of the noncompact group SL (2,R) have
prover! not only invaluable in their own right but have servec!
as a moclel of how such representations are to be sought for
more general noncompact Lie groups. Shortly after com-
pleting the work on SL(2,R) he also completed a manu-
script on the relater! group SL(2,C). This work, however,

To a large extent, Bargmann tenclec! to write either short
notes or long, extensive articles. When he felt he really hac!
something to say it seems he would become cliciactic, thor-
ough, and complete. Thus, his papers on SL(2,R) and the
factor representation of groups were both long papers by
Bargmann's stanciarcis. However, he saver! his longest en c!
most sustainer! stucly until the 1960s, when he clealt with
one of the subjects for which he will long be remembered.
It is to this set of papers en c! a brief sketch of some of their
principal novelty that I wouic! like to turn my attention at
this point. I have chosen to outline two mathematical argu-
ments, because on the one hanc! they are relatively simple
en c! on the other hanc! they are universal en c! profound.
From 1961 onward, Valya publisher! several papers cleal-
ing with the foundations en c! applications of Hilbert space
representations by holomorphic functions now commonly
known as Bargmann spaces (or sometimes as Segal-Bargmann
spaces in view of an essentially parallel analysis of the main
features by Irving Segal). We can outline a few of the prin-
cipal icleas in such an analysis by first starting with the fol-
lowing backgrounc! material. The basic kinematical opera-
tors in canonical quantum mechanics for a single degree of
freedom may be taken as the two Hermitian operators Q
en c! P. which obey the funciamental Heisenberg commuta-
tion relation
[Q,P]-QP-PQ = ihI
c, ill,
where li denotes Planck's constant h/2lrv, and where I de-
notes the unit operator. In the Schroclinger approach to
quantum mechanics these operators are represented as

An elementary yet important alternative combination of
the basic operators Q en c! P is given by

where AT denotes the Hermitian acljoint of the operator A.
The basic commutation relation between Qanc! P then leacis

true that this representation of the operators A en c! AT sat-

that Ice = tic en c! `-i~a/a~ = `-i~a/a~' hole! in the Schroclinger

which shows that zi = O/Oz as required. With the introcluc-
tion of the given inner product for two holomorphic func-
tions, Bargmann put the heuristic notion that z en cl O/Oz
were acljoint operators onto a firm mathematical founcia-
All separable en c! infinite-climensional Hilbert spaces are

L2 associate the expansion

in terms of the complete, real, orthonormal set of Hermite
functions {hn('c)} Oeach element of which is implicitly cle-

~ O as tic ~ + so for all nonnegative r and s. Each such
function is realized by the expansion
u('c) = ~bnhn('`)7
where nrb ~ O as not so for all r (i.e., bn falls to zero faster
than any inverse power). Dual to the space of tempered test
functions is the space of tempered distributions, a special
class of generalized functions. If D('cJ denotes such a gener-
alized function, then D admits the formal expansion
D(x)= ~ c! h (x),
n = 0
where {an} O is a sequence of polynomial growth (i.e., Edna
< R + Sn for suitable R and S). Generally, D is only a gener-
alized function (e.g., D( ~c) = ~ ( tic - y) when dn = hn(y), etc. ),
not an ordinary function, and, although the left-hand side
of the relation
Ir budn = | u(X) ' D(x)dx
is well defined, the right-hand side does not exist as a tradi
tional integral.
Bargmann realized, however, that the action of tempered
distributions on test functions did indeed possess a genu-
ine integral representation in terms of holomorphic func-
tions. For that purpose let
u(Z) _ Ir bnZn /
denote the image of u('cJ in F. Furthermore, we define
D(z)->~ dnZ / ~
as the image of the generalized function D('c). Since Idnl < R
+ En it follows that the series cleaning D(zJ converges every-
where en c! thereby clefines a holomorphic function. More-
over, it follows that
00 00
| | u(z) ~D(z)e IZl dxdy/ in= 2,bndn .
_00 _00
Thus, the holomorphic function representation enclowoc!
with the Bargmann inner product provides an explicit inte-
gral representation for the action of an arbitrary temperer!
distribution, a feature entirely unavailable in the usual form
of generalizes! functions en c! formal integrals.
The discussion just concluclec! regarding two topics cleal-
ing with holomorphic function spaces illustrates the pen-
etrating simplicity of Bargmann's approach to mathemati-
cal physics. Would that we had more like him today, I
occasionally miss the opportunity to "ask Bar~mann."

Building a six channel amplifier using LM3886
I am fascinated by the possiblities of a digital crossover network powered by BruteFIR. My loudspeakers have got three ways each and at the moment I am experimenting with three very different amplifiers in order to power every driver seperately. Of course I cannot pay thousands of dollars for three equal high-end amplifiers, so I decided to build some myself. My soldering skill is quite well, but I don't have a grasp of the underlying physics. So there are some questions: I could easily build three stereo amplifiers using the LM3886 kits from chipamp.com for example. But I prefer putting all the six channels into only one big case. Is it possible (and recommandable) to put three toroids into one case? Or is there a better solution that I can use without having studied electro-technics. I'd be very glad, if you answered my question |

Second question: Say, I use three toroids and put them in a parallel circuit - do I need to limit the switch-on current?

Re: Building a six channel amplifier using LM3886
The transformer needs short-circuit and overload protection. If you don't use overload protection fuses on the secondaries, the primary fuse has to serve both purposes. In that case there is no way around a soft-start circuit. Without the soft-start circuit the primary fuse must be big enough to withstand the inrush current, which will make it too big for overload protection. If you do use overload protection fuses on the secondaries, you will only need a soft-start circuit, if the fuses/circuit-breakers in the distribution box trip due to the transformer's inrush current.
If you've always done it like that, then it's probably wrong. (Henry Ford) |

If I choose to use one big transformer instead of three smaller ones, I won't be able to use the power supply that is shipped with the lm3886 kit. What power supply should I take?
Thanks in advance. |

Well, I thought so. Which transformator to take then? Still the same with around 20V/220VA? I'm quite sceptical.
According to you I can connect as many amplifier boards to a power supply as I want, right? Why do people prefer the relation 1 transformator per amplifier (dual mono)? Searching the forum for this question I found quite paradox answers. I see, it'd be recommandable to understand the underlying physics before building such an amplifier. |

In your case it also depends on the soundcard quality and, how good that software-based filter really works.

The formula is Ur = I * dt / C
Ripple voltage increases with current and decreases with capacitance and frequency (dt = 1/f). There is a rule of thumb to use at least 1000 µF per 1 A nominal current, based on that knowledge. Interesting exercise for the aficionados of the authentic Gainclone configuration with only 1000 µF per rail: find out, how much current can be drawn at low frequencies until you get 100 % ripple. How much undistorted output power does that correspond to?

The rectifier and filter caps specified on most of these kits are sized to fit a single mono block amp, or two amps in a stereo configuration. If you want to power three or more channels then you will need larger diodes (to handle more current) and larger filter capacitors (for the same reason). You can drive two or three such power supply boards from a single transformer by connecting the ac inputs in parallel using separate wires from each to connect to the transformer.
The is a risk in using a single supply (larger diodes and larger capacitors, or multiple capacitors in parallel) to drive multiple amps of creating a ground loop coupling between the amps. If the power supply is decoupled at each amp with additional capacitors and all grounds are tied to a common star point with separate wires from each amp you should be ok. Separate power supply runs from each amp to the common supply with all connections made to a common point at the supply are also a good idea (DON'T DAISY CHAIN the power wires!!!). |

Key aspects of effective data-driven sales management include examining the historical pipeline to present accurate sales forecasts, monitoring the performances of sales reps to diagnose where improvements might be needed and regularly studying the sales funnel to ensure that there are no leaks resulting in missed opportunities. Here are some important sales management aspects that sales managers should keep in mind.
- Rep activity conversions
An overarching aspect of sales management is in training, mentoring and leading your team of sales reps. Instead of just tracking the volume of activities that a sales rep makes everyday, managers should look at the conversion ratios of these activities, i.e. how many calls lead to productive connections that lead to deals. Managers can then focus their coaching efforts on the reps who need it the most, based upon this data analysis.
- Sales funnel management
Sales management includes properly managing the sales funnel. While there is no set template for sales funnels, the best ones regularly maintain the funnel shape, with smooth gradients all the way down, while having each stage mapped directly to the corresponding point in the buyer's process. Studying prospects as they progress through stages – as well as the conversion ratios from stage to stage – lets managers know where the holes in their funnels are and on what specific stages reps require the most coaching.
- Won/Lost % over time
Sales management is all about converting as many opportunities as possible into deals. A company's growth trajectory should always be pointing in the right direction, and it's up to a sales manager to take the necessary steps – acquiring higher-quality leads, coaching reps to be more productive – if the company's sales are struggling. Looking at the historic won/lost report over time lets managers know if they are hitting their sales goals or not.
Effective sales management comprises a host of different aspects, but each of these features can make the difference between a successful sales team and one that repeatedly fails to hit its goals and grow revenue. InsightSquared offers numerous sales analytics and sales reporting features to assist with sales management.

They pulled the plug on unlicensed contractors doing electrical work in Marion County. It's call Operation ACDC and it's the second sting of it's kind done this year by the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Many of those arrested today tried to say that they weren't contractors but handymen. The officer who set up the appointment says she made it very clear that electrical and plumbing work would need to be done. Both of these are illegal without a permit.
Lt. Dennis McFatten with the Marion County Sheriff's Office says, "What happens is they go out and collect the money and the victims pay them first before they actually do the work, and then they never actually do the work."
In all, ten alleged illegal contractors were ambushed, cuffed, and taken to jail.

MODULE CONTEXTBetween the War of 1812 and the Civil War, the United States witnessed tremendous industrial growth. Robert Fulton's invention of the steamboat was instrumental in the success of New York State's industrial strength by enabling the transportation of passengers-and eventually raw materials and finished goods-throughout the state and the country. This strength was further shown by DeWitt Clinton's plan to link New York City to the Great Lakes; the plan came to fruition in 1825 with the completion of the Erie Canal. Steamboat travel and the canal system had many positive effects: they lowered the cost of goods and travel, reduced the time needed to move products and people, and helped create new towns and businesses that were linked by waterways.

Another pet you can adopt from Venetopia; the evil villian of Venetopia; a mix between a dragon and snake.
The Flamoro and Malacan are nearly the same thing, they have different colors though.
